FINDINGS AND SUGGESTION:

M.S.RAMAIAH COLLEGE OF ARTS, SCIENCE & COMMERCE, BANGLORE

68

KARANATAKA STATE FINANCIAL CORPORATION, BANGALORE FINDINGS:1) All the schemes that can be availed by the local entrepreneur are operated at branch level. 2) Prior to providing assistance to a new unit an intensive study is done on the technical feasibility and financial liability of the proposed project by appropriate expertise in the field. 3) The need for a guarantor/security for sanctioning a loan depends on the the proposed project. If the proposed project involves high risk and worthiness becomes vital. 4) KSFC has norms to decide the repayment period for a loan. Apart from this cash generation capacity of the proposed project is considered to fix up actual repayment period. 5) KSFC provides guidance to the borrowers, and supervise/monitor the progress of a project and follows up of loans. 6) A Borrower can avail loans under more than one scheme and can take additional loan before repaying the previous loan. But this depends upon the exiting loan transactions with the corporation. 7) In case of defaults in repayment of loan, KSFC follows the following steps to recover. First, reminder letters are sent to the defaulting customer requesting him/her to make the payment. nature of then the need

for security also increases. If the borrower is a regular customer, then his credit

KARANATAKA STATE FINANCIAL CORPORATION, BANGALORE


In case of failure to get the response, Show cause notices are sent to the defaulting customer stating the consequences of non-payment. Then a compromising process will be carried on for arriving at an agreeable solution between the defaulting borrower and KSFC. If none of the above methods prove to be fruitful then the security provided by the borrower will be confiscated and the amount realized from that will be setoff against the amount due from him. The amount that is not realizable will be written off finally after exhausting all the available remedies under the law. 1) Normally, the lead-time between application of loans and sanctioning of loans is up to proposal received by the branch having been processed within a period of 3 months. In some rare cases they period taken has been up to 6 months. But the respondents have revealed that, the delay was on account of their inability to comply with the formalities and provide required documents. 2) The officers in charge of appraisal are found to face certain problems while discharging their functions, some of which are listed below: Lack of information about the net worth. Over-invoicing of the cost of plant and the machineries. Change in government policies. Genuineness of the legal documents. Diversions and miss-utilizations of Funds. Suppressions of material information about experience, past track record, relationship with bankers etc.. Extraneous pressure for sanction of assistance. Inclusion of persons with dubious reputation, dummy names, woman family members to get subsidy.

3) To over come the above problems and appraise the proposals effectively, KSFC has been taking a number of strategies: Constant review and up-gradation of systems and practices. Close co-ordination with allied Government agencies, banks and financial institutions. Through investigation into the applicants profile and confirmation of facts and claims. Objective analysis of different elements of the project. Periodical interaction with applicants bankers.

SUGGETIONS: On the basis of analysis and interpretation of data and finding, the following point is put forward for the effective working of various loan schemes and project appraisal followed. 1) KSFC plays an important role in the development of small-scale industries in Karnataka State. KSFC has to take steps to provide additional financial schemes concentrating more on the small-scale industries sector. 2) KSFC has to maintain quality clients so that it can maintain quality portfolio. The corporation should take measures to sanction financial assistance by taking less processing time to give better services and to retain good cliental base. 3) The appraisal department has to consider more parameters in the Area of technical analysis, financial analysis, and marketability of the product while sanctioning the financial assistance to the project.

4) KSFC has to keep continues contact with the clients, which will help the clients, which will help the corporation in quick disbursement and improves customer relationship. The corporation has to conduct meetings with the clients and try to solve the problems faced by the unit frequently. 5) The corporation should concentrate on recovery of over dues and bad debts so as to bring down the loan outstanding of the corporation. 6) Targets should be set to the recovery officers and special incentives should be provided to those officers who achieve their objective. 7) KSFC should conduct customer meeting once in every month and should discuss the actual problems faced by the unit. The corporation with the help of its expert team should solve the problem and this will ensure smooth functioning of the assisted unit and recovery of the loan will also be ensured. 8) The concentration of SSI units in and around Bangalore is more. Most of them are proprietary concerns and private limited companies. So KSFC has to add new schemes for providing financial assistance to SSI units by charging lesser rate of interest. This will attract new customers to KSFC. 9) The organization structure should be modified and surplus staff should be removed and should implement fully computerization, so that the overhead expenses should be reduced. 10) Frequent policy reviews regarding quantum of loan and terms of repayment could be in tune with the change in the economy and recessionary trend in the industry. 11) A higher target could be attempted for achievement in respect of all schemes. This will benefit more people and Institution. 72

CONCLUSION :
KSFC is the largest state owned term lending institution in Karnataka. But the changing economic scenario, financial sector reforms coupled with WTO provisions and declining interest rate regime has had adverse effect on KSFCs functioning particularly during 1999 to 2002 years. Both internal and external factors and market competition offered particularly by the banking sector have worsened the position of KSFC during the said period. To conclude, it is observed that KSFC is a very good financial institution that has different branches all over Karnataka with helping hand to the needy small-scale entrepreneurs. Further KSFC is also entering into marketing fee based activities such as insurance products, mutual funds, infrastructure development activities and other emerging fields where the financial assistance is needed.
